    Best software I've used to clone hard drives is with Clonezilla. Be sure to read through the instructions properly.

    Though a clean install and reinstalling your programs, drivers and data would be the better option.

    I ended up doing a fresh install. Just got to format the old drive then re-install my games and software.

    If you have a Seagate HDD you can use Seatools. Works awesome and its really quick. You can also do other things like backups, sequential backups , images etc. You must have at least 1 Seagate drive to use. Otherwise you need to buy the Acronis package.
